Anyone seen this yet?

I didn't see the pilot, so I can't comment on the differences, but the jury is out on the series as far as I'm concerned. I'm watching it, so it's winning so far, but it doesn't seem to be able to decide if it's funny or dark - it isn't 'darkly funny' though, it's just a weird juxtaposition instead.

Haven't seen it yet myself; I only watch good fantasy shows ie North American ones...

I'll probably be checking it out soon, but haven't done so yet... I did read part of the scrip though. :lol:

Any of you seen this Vampire series True Blood at all? It stars Anna Paquin a.k.a Rogue from the X-men flicks.

Nope, I have the first episode somewhere, but there just aren't enough hours in the day.

We watched the first three episodes.

UGH.

I can't stand the ghost; it was so bad in the episode when she haunts her ex that we began fast-forwarding her parts.

I see what you mean about the juxtaposition. It seems to be a dopey British version of Friends with supernatural monstrous roommates. One minute it's "ooh, look how bad and scary we can be" and the next minute, "Gee guys, I'm really sorry I said/did something bad. Let's have a group hug and some appropriately twee music to go with it!"

Can you tell that I've given up on it yet? :P

Episode 4 is actually not bad. In fact pretty good. Bit late in a 6 episode series to finally get it's act together though...

I will take your word on it but it is too late for me. I made that mistake with Torchwood - never again! :P
